When you're in kindergarten, the accepted means of interacting with the opposite sex is teasing, name-calling, and toy-stealing. That's fine and good, mostly, except when that no-good Suzie took our only Tonka truck. But now that we're all grown-ups, nastiness, name-calling and "negging" have no place in flirtatious conduct. Now, we're not saying you've got to back-peddle on the friendly teasing thing you've got going on with that girl you keep on randomly running into at the laundromat, but let's be clear: There's a big difference between being a naughty little charmer and a huge impolite jerk, and that's a question of context and density. Context: Does she know you and your tone well enough to know you're just kidding? Density: Do you do or say nice things more often than mean things? If the answer to either of those is "Uhhh... no," guess what her answer is going to be when you finally ask her out for drinks?
